Air Travel
Kona Airport: The Keahole-Kona International Airport (code KOA) is on
the Big Island of Hawaii, 18 miles from the Hilton Waikoloa Village. Kona International
Airport has direct flights to, and from, many mainland destinations as well
as Japan. National and international carriers offering direct, non-stop flights
to Kona International Airport (KOA) from Orange County, Oakland, Los Angeles
and San Francisco, California; Seattle, Washington; Denver, Colorado; Atlanta,
Georgia and Salt Lake City, Utah are listed below:
- Aloha Airlines
- American Airlines
- Delta Airlines
- Northwest Airlines
- United Airlines
Inter-Island Airlines: Direct flights are also
available to the islands of Maui and Kauai, but inter-island transfers to Kona,
through Honolulu, are much less expensive and more plentiful. Two inter-island
airlines (Aloha Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines) provide connecting flights to
Kona International Airport from Honolulu. If your initial destination point
is Honolulu, or any island other than the Big Island of Hawai'i, please remember
to make an additional reservation for a connecting flight on one of the inter-island
carriers. Inter-island seats fill up quickly. Make your reservations early.
Please do not wait until you arrive in Honolulu to secure the inter-island portion
of your trip to the Big Island. Free transportation via the Wiki-Wiki Shuttle
Bus is available between the main and inter-island terminal at the Honolulu
airport. It is important to leave a minimum of two (2) hours between your arrival
in Honolulu and your departure for Kona to accomodate added security measures
and to transfer to the inter-island terminal.

The Hilton Waikoloa Village is a 20 minute drive from the Keahole-Kona International
